Stirling Council

A topping out ceremony at the new Stirling Care Village was held on Friday 24th November 2017 to mark the final tiles being placed on the roof of the new Care Hub building. The hub will have more than 100 beds and will provide short-term care, assessment or rehabilitation to older people who require additional support following an illness or operation. Set in a comfortable, homely environment it aims to help older people recover, regain their independence and, in the majority of cases, return to their own homes.

Stirling SNP led a demonstration to halt Universal Credit on Saturday (25th Nov).
The day of action included a procession from King’s Park followed by a rally at Thistle Park in Stirling.
Rally speakers included Stirling MSP Bruce Crawford, SNP MP Drew Hendry, Stirling Council Leader Scott Farmer, and Jessica Lindohf of Stirling Women’s Aid.
Stirling SNP’s campaign has gained hundreds of signatures for the party’s petition to halt Universal Credit.

Further to the Stirling Council Decision to refuse the Gladman application at Strathblane, Stirling MSP Bruce Crawford said: “I congratulate the Strathblane community for their successful campaign to have this application rejected. I am pleased that Stirling Council has taken the decision to refuse this application.

It has been revealed that the local Stirling Conservative Party is torn apart following the recent readmission of shamed Tory Councillors, Alastair Majury and Robert Davies who had been revealed as Twitter trolls having authored a number of seriously offensive Tweets.

It is understood that both were required by Tory HQ to offer an official apology at the latest meeting of the full Council – where Councillor Davies refused to do so and resigned from the party.
